step S101: and calculating evaluation factors for the roadway according to the stock distribution of the goods in the roadway and the number of empty storage positions of the roadway, and taking the roadway corresponding to the maximum evaluation factor as a target roadway. The stock distribution of the goods in the roadway, namely the quantity of the goods already stored in the roadway, preferentially takes the roadway with large empty storage quantity and the roadway with small quantity of the stored goods as target roadways. The concrete realization of this step is: respectively setting weight factors for the stock distribution of goods in the roadway and the number of empty storage positions of the roadway; carrying out weighted summation on the inventory distribution and the number of the empty storage positions, wherein the weighted summation result is the evaluation factor of the roadway; and taking the roadway corresponding to the maximum evaluation factor as a target roadway. The weight factor of the stock distribution is a numerical value smaller than 0, the weight factor of the number of the empty storage positions is a numerical value larger than 0, and the specific value of the weight factor is set according to actual requirements and experience.
Step S102: and judging whether the warehouse area to which the target roadway belongs is the same as the warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belongs. And comparing whether the warehouse area to which the target roadway belongs is the same as the warehouse area to which the access and exit where the goods are currently located belong, and if the warehouse areas to which the target roadway and the goods belong are the same, indicating that the goods can be directly transported to the target roadway through a layer of conveying line. If the warehouse areas to which the goods belong are different, the goods cannot be directly transported to the target roadway only through one layer of conveying line, and at the moment, a borrowing roadway needs to be determined so as to lift the goods to a two-layer conveying line by means of the borrowing roadway, and the goods are transported to the target roadway in a cross-region mode through the two-layer conveying line. The conveyor line in the embodiment is a circulating conveyor line.
Step S103: and determining a borrowing roadway from the warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belongs according to the judgment result, so that the goods are transported to the empty storage position of the target roadway through the borrowing roadway. If the warehouse area to which the target tunnel belongs is different from the warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belong, inquiring an idle tunnel from the warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belong; acquiring the current number of uncompleted tasks of the idle roadway and a temporary storage position of an in-out station corresponding to the idle roadway to calculate an evaluation factor of the idle roadway; and determining the idle roadway corresponding to the maximum evaluation factor as a borrowing roadway, and transporting the goods to the empty storage position of the target roadway through a two-layer conveying line through the borrowing roadway.
Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of a stereoscopic warehouse according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the stereoscopic warehouse according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of warehouse areas, such as an a-area and a D-area. Each warehouse area is provided with a plurality of goods shelves, a first-layer circulating conveying line, a first-layer inlet and outlet and a second-layer inlet and outlet, the first-layer circulating conveying lines among the warehouse areas are physically isolated, and the warehouse areas are connected through the second-layer circulating conveying lines. Assuming that the goods are located at an entrance and an exit of a layer of the area A at present, and the target roadway is the 2 nd roadway of the area A, the goods enter a layer of the circulation conveying line of the area A from the entrance and the exit of the layer of the area A, and then the goods are conveyed to the empty storage positions of the corresponding goods shelves through the roadway between the 2 nd goods shelf and the 3 rd goods shelf.
Fig. 3 is a schematic main flow chart of a cargo warehousing method according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, the cargo warehousing method of the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:
step S301: and receiving an external roadway recommendation task, and inquiring the stock distribution of goods in the roadway and the number of empty storage positions in the roadway. After receiving a tunnel recommendation task for a certain goods, the database is inquired to obtain the stock distribution of the goods in each tunnel and the number of empty storage positions of each tunnel in the stereoscopic warehouse. The stock distribution of the goods in the roadway means the quantity of the goods already stored in the roadway.
Step S302: and multiplying the inventory distribution and the number of the empty storage positions by preset weight factors respectively and then summing to obtain evaluation factors, wherein the roadway corresponding to the maximum evaluation factor is used as a target roadway. Wherein the evaluation factor is the summation result. When the lanes are recommended for goods, the lanes with large quantity of empty storage positions and small stock distribution need to be recommended preferentially, so that when the weighting factors are set for the two parameters of the stock distribution and the quantity of the empty storage positions, the weighting factor of the stock distribution is set to be a numerical value smaller than 0, and the weighting factor of the quantity of the empty storage positions is set to be a numerical value larger than 0. In the embodiment, the calculation formula of the evaluation factor of each lane is as follows:
the evaluation factor is the number of empty storage bits x the weighting factor 1+ the stock distribution x the weighting factor 2
Equation 1

And acquiring a warehouse area to which the target tunnel belongs according to the tunnel number of the target tunnel, and then comparing whether the warehouse area to which the target tunnel belongs is the same as the warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belongs, so as to perform different processing according to the comparison result.
Step S304: and inquiring an idle roadway from a warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belong. If the warehouse area to which the target tunnel belongs is different from the warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belong, the situation that the goods cannot be directly transported to the target tunnel only through one layer of conveying line is indicated, and at the moment, a free tunnel in the warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belong needs to be inquired to determine the lending tunnel. Setting the state of the roadway to be an idle state or a non-idle state according to the equipment state and/or the storage position state of the roadway; and searching a tunnel set to be in an idle state from a warehouse area to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belong, wherein the searched tunnel is an idle tunnel. The step sets the laneway to be in an idle state or a non-idle state according to the equipment state and/or the storage position state of the laneway, so that the idle laneway is convenient to inquire.
Step S305: and acquiring the current unfinished task number of the idle roadway and the temporary storage position of the warehouse entry and exit station corresponding to the idle roadway to calculate the evaluation factor of the idle roadway, and determining the idle roadway corresponding to the maximum evaluation factor as a borrowing roadway. Setting recommendation coefficients for the current number of uncompleted tasks of the idle roadway and the temporary storage positions of the warehouse entry and exit station corresponding to the idle roadway respectively; and multiplying the current number of uncompleted tasks and the temporary storage positions of the warehouse-in and warehouse-out station respectively by corresponding recommendation coefficients, then summing, and taking the summation result as the evaluation factor of the idle roadway. When a borrowing roadway is recommended for goods, the roadway with few current unfinished tasks and more temporary storage positions of an in-out station platform needs to be recommended preferentially, so that when the recommendation coefficients are set for the two parameters of the current unfinished tasks and the temporary storage positions of the in-out station platform, the recommendation coefficient of the current unfinished tasks is set to be a numerical value smaller than 0, and the recommendation coefficient of the temporary storage positions of the in-out station platform is set to be a numerical value larger than 0.
Step S306: and transporting the goods to an empty storage position of the target roadway through a two-layer conveying line through the borrowing roadway, and finishing the process. After the lending roadway is determined, the goods are lifted to a two-layer conveying line by means of the lending roadway, and the goods are transregionally conveyed to the target roadway through the two-layer conveying line.
Step S307: and directly transporting the goods to an empty storage position of the target roadway through a layer of conveying line of the warehouse area, and finishing the process. If the warehouse area to which the target roadway belongs is the same as the warehouse area to which the access and exit where the goods are currently located belong, the situation that the goods can be directly transported to the target roadway through a layer of conveying line is indicated. Through the processing of the steps S301 to S307, the rear-row roadway cannot be idle due to the fact that the front-row roadway blocks the conveying line by the conveyed goods, the goods can arrive in each roadway at any time, and the elevator of each roadway cannot be idle, so that the utilization rate of each device in the stereoscopic warehouse and the warehousing efficiency of the goods are greatly improved.
In an embodiment, the cargo warehousing method may be implemented by an equipment management system and a scheduling system in a warehouse management system. The equipment management system issues a roadway recommendation task to a scheduling system; the scheduling system obtains a target roadway by executing the processing procedures from the step S301 to the step S302, and outputs the target roadway to the equipment management system; the equipment management system judges whether transregional goods transportation is needed or not by executing the step S303, and if so, a recommendation request is sent to the equipment management system; if not, directly transporting the goods to a storage platform of a target roadway through a layer of conveying line of the warehouse area by sending a corresponding instruction (corresponding to step S307); after the equipment management system receives the recommendation request, obtaining a borrowing roadway by executing the processing procedures from the step S304 to the step S305, pre-occupying an access station temporary storage position of the borrowing roadway, and outputting a borrowing roadway number to the equipment management system; the equipment management system transmits the corresponding instruction, and transports the goods to the storage station of the target roadway through the two-layer transport line by means of the borrowing roadway (corresponding to step S306). The recommendation request includes a warehouse area (corresponding to the area a or the area D in fig. 2) to which the entrance and exit where the goods are currently located belongs, a layer (corresponding to one layer or two layers in fig. 2) to which the goods are currently located, and a warehouse area and a target layer to which the target roadway belongs.
